Really ******* stupid move. They had an All-Pro level RT signed to a super team friendly contract and they cut him out of the blue. I guess it isn't an Andy Reid team without an OL in disarray...

That OL was going to be set for the rest of Winston's contract (which would have ended right before we'd historically start seeing a decline). People say what they want about Pioli, but that signing was a ******* masterpiece. Winston basically gave KC a hometown discount because he liked it here so much. Other teams were prepared to pay him significantly more.

My biggest problem is this: you don't actively try to create holes on your team. You don't go out of your way to make holes. The Chiefs did just that.

This is what was so shocking. Even if he wasn't a top 5 RT in the league, he was a good solid starter on an affordable contract, considering there was basically no cap relief by cutting him, and they didn't even try to trade him for a 6th round pick, it's baffling.
